Albert,
I may get into trouble here, but I am increasingly convinced that the micro-dynamics of analog playback, in particular, hinge partly on things we have yet to measure. I thought I had built a great turntable, but somehow I inadvertently improved the dynamics of it without trying by implementing a change to make assembly easier. We may have figured out a lot about audio, but I really believe there are still volumes left out there for us to discover. I suppose the goal should be not to know everything, but to not know as little as the competition...assuming it is about competition, and I'm not so sure that that should be the end goal. Me? I'll settle for good sounding no matter where it originates. :)
